Chapter 516 Fruit Plate

"Waiter, lead the way. I have to have a good bath tonight!"

The men stood up, hooked their shoulders and backs, and sang a self-composed song under the influence of alcohol.

The rest of the people at the scene saw it and were also somewhat tempted.

After collecting the ticket money, Xia Yan asked the staff to take them upstairs. The hotel was brightly lit, and the figures of the four men were very clear behind the glass window.

The customers all watched them disappear on the stairs curiously, and then, the frosted glass window on the second floor vaguely revealed their figures.

"Xiongxiong, cut these fruits into a fruit plate and send it upstairs."

Xia Yan raised the volume, took the fruit out of the fruit basket, checked the skin with the light, and then put it on the chopping board, and Xiongxiong cut it into small teeth and put it on the plate.

The round watermelon made a clear and crisp sound before the knife fell completely, and the whole melon split into two halves. The pink melon flesh shook and stopped, looking very sweet.

There were only four people in the bathing center for the time being, so there was no need for so many watermelons. Xiong Xiong took the initiative to cut a quarter of it into slices and pushed it in front of Xia Yan.

"Boss, eat the watermelon~"

Xia Yan picked up a slice and bit it lightly. There was a rustling sound between her teeth, and the tip of her tongue felt the fresh sweetness. The melon flesh was full of juice, and it was very thirst-quenching to eat.

She said to Xiong Xiong: "Leave some for Jing Yimai, and ask Chu Wanfu for the rest. He should need it."

Xiong Xiong called Jing Yimai and stuffed a slice of watermelon into his surprised eyes. Then he went to find General Chu. Sure enough, he bought the rest and bought two more, and asked him to cut them and send them to him.

Xiong Xiong was very happy. He trotted all the way with a cheerful pace, and patted Jing Yimai on the shoulder affectionately when he passed by.

"Eat slowly, I'll leave some for you later~"

Jing Yimai paused while eating the melon, "Okay."

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at the faces of the customers opposite him, staring at him straight in the eyes, with a somewhat proud tone, "This melon is really sweet, whoever eats it will know~"

After he finished speaking, he was stunned again, this tone was strangely familiar, it felt like something that Xiong Lao would say...

Xia Yan threw the flesh of the melon into the trash can behind, and took out three large watermelons from the fruit basket with great effort, "Xiong Xiong, if there are customers going to the bath later, add more watermelons to the fruit plate. It's hot today, eat melons to cool down."

Well, she didn't mean to sell it in retail at all.

Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, spend a four-crystal and go upstairs to the bath, it's free!

The customers' eyes were almost straight, wishing they could pick it off and throw it on the melon flesh and never leave.

What hatred or grudges, it's fine if you eat it secretly, the cops next to you also have a share, the whole place is full of melon and fruit fragrance, they are the only ones who can't eat a bite, right?

Woohoo, I'm not envious at all, really...

At this time, the stool legs slid on the ground with a harsh sound, and a group of people rushed to Xia Yan and lined up in front of him, holding the crystal core in their fingers and leaning forward.

"Boss, one four crystals, right? Give me a ticket."

"Two people, the bill has been paid, can you send the fruit plate now?"

Xia Yan smiled and nodded, "Of course no problem."

"Then will it count if I put two more pieces of watermelon?" The customer took the opportunity to make a request, staring at the pink melon flesh and couldn't move his eyes away.

Xia Yan waved directly: "Xiongxiong, put an extra slice of watermelon in this customer's fruit plate."

"Oh, boss, you're awesome!"

The customers behind him saw this and shouted: "You can't just give him a special treatment, you have to give us an extra slice!"

Xia Yan smiled: "You want fairness, right?"

"..." The customers' faces became a little complicated and ugly, and they secretly glanced at the police in another direction.

Xia Yan continued: "Xiongxiong, put an extra slice of watermelon on each fruit plate."

Everyone was happy again, but that weirdness crept into their hearts.

Xia Yan looked at the long line, confirmed the time, clapped his hands and prepared to find a temporary worker to work.

"Xiongxiong, you keep an eye on this first. I'm going out for a while. If Jing Wenbin sends someone, let them wait for me to come back."

Xiongxiong dropped the kitchen knife in his hand, replaced Xia Yan's position, emptied the small bag he carried with him, and prepared to use it to collect crystal cores.

It was cheerful: "Everything is left to Xiongxiong~"

Xia Yan walked through the lobby and entered the resort gate.

It was dusk on Lidai Island. Half of the sea level was a red sun, and the other half was dragged into a wavy column by the sea.

Customers riding bicycles passed by on the sidewalk from time to time. Hundreds of people were doing health exercises in the wide square. The doctor who walked out of the building held a bag under his armpit and bought a glass of freshly squeezed juice from the self-service vending machine outside. He found a seat on the stand beside the square and sat down, smiling and drinking while watching.

Xia Yan exited the resort gate and walked back in. What he saw was a food street.

Since high-end restaurants are no longer recruiting customers, there are not many new customers on the street. The vendors are preparing to go off work. The lights in the two rows of shops at the back are on, and some of them still have customers.

Xia Yan went straight to the back and found the plaque that reads "Seed Vegetable Store" and pushed the door in.

"Ding~dong, hello, welcome."

The sensor hanging behind the door reminded in time, and Qi Hua, who was serving customers, turned his head and said, "Hello-it's Boss Xia."

"Well, I have something to do with Director Sang Ji, can you call him for me?"

Qi Hua smiled and said, "Then you came at the right time, Uncle Sang is behind the house, wait a moment, I'll go call him."

Xia Yan nodded.

Since the last lease expired, Sang Zhengyi said he would not renew the lease. His base has now expanded by half. With the technical support of Chu Wanfu, he built a large drying plant, which provides many jobs. Not only did his personal time decrease dramatically, but his crystal cores were also tight.

They couldn't afford the rent. They really couldn't afford it.

In the end, they rented a store on the food street to expand vegetable sales, take orders, and earn crystal cores.

Xia Yan had always known about this and thought they should have a booming business, but when she saw it, her heart was half cold for them.

There were only two lonely display racks in the store, one side was vegetables, and the other side was a very small amount of seeds sealed, with the name on the transparent packaging bag in black and white.

It looked empty and felt like it was about to go bankrupt!

Xia Yan opened the operation background and found the transaction data of this store.

Hmm?

After seeing the numbers clearly, she wiped her cold sweat. She was too worried. This store seemed to be half dead, but it was actually thriving!

The sales volume was the No. 1 on this street.

"Boss Xia? It's really you!"

The curtain was lifted, and Sang Zhengyi, with black mud on his face, strode over.

He stretched out his hand to shake, but when he saw the shiny mud crust solidified on his fingertips, he suddenly retracted it.

"I was packing vegetables inside just now. The vegetables here are freshly dug from the ground, and there is still mud on the roots. It is inevitable to pack your hands. Boss Xia, please understand."

Sang Zhengyi seemed to be talking to Xia Yan, but in fact his attention was all on the customers entering the store. When he was halfway through, his voice rose, and he was promoting it.
